ACTION 9 months #justiceforberta

Friday 2nd December will mark nine months since the attackthat took place in La Esperanza, Intibucá in which Berta Cáceres was murdered and Gustavo Castro, the sole witness, was injured.

There are
currently seven suspects in the case, but the Public Prosecutor
continues to conceal information from the family and prevent them from
actively participating in the investigation. Furthermore, DESA is
threatening to reactivate the hydroelectric project ‘Agua Zarca’.

In November, the creation of an International Expert Advisory Panel (GAIPE)
was announced. The panel has since met with local authorities to push
forward an independent investigation to be carried out according to the
law. Meanwhile, Honduras continues to be one of the most dangerous
countries for human rights defenders.

Next Friday, on the nine-month anniversary of Berta’s death, COPINH will carry out activities in La Esperanza, Honduras while representatives of Berta’s relatives and COPINH meet with the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (CIDH) as the next step in their fight for justice. We would like to invite you to support these events from where you are.
